Technically it does belong here. Your comment has made me realize how fucked up this place has gotten.

I mean think about it: A cringe is when you feel uncomfortable watching a situation. It is about empathy. So we have these subreddits, /r/cringe and /r/cringepics, so that we may all cringe together.

Then we get a problem with bullying and making fun of the people we're supposed to empathize with.

This is perfectly cringeworthy, but now because we automatically associate "cringeworthy" with "make fun of" we have this problem of "this cringeworthy thing isn't cringeworthy because we shouldn't make fun of him/her."

I really don't see the difference between this and the creepy flirt videos over at r/cringe. No one's bullying this guy for his medical issues; rather, the cringe lies in his (perceived) hapless approach to dating.

Personally, I'd rather know it up front than once we started talking or agreed to meet up. That's kind of a big deal to just drop on someone, so it's better to let them know from the start so they can decide whether or not to pursue you. I did the same thing on my OkCupid profile - I said I had some mental problems - depression, severe anxiety, OCD, and ADD. Maybe it was a little too personal, but I ended up with a boyfriend who is very understanding about my conditions.

How is that appropriate? Isn't that sort of a 2nd date type of bombshell? A logical person would get to know a girl and shit and then gradually gain the courage to tell them. This poor guy, either misinformed or desperate for sympathy, just put it out there like it's a nail biting problem or something.

Why should it be a bombshell? That's ridiculous. If he puts it on his profile, the only people who will contact him will have already come to terms with his condition and he won't freak them out. If anything, a "logical" person would do it the way he did.

As much as I think this guys a douche, I have to say... I give him credit for being so honest. I mean, a person can decide right then and there if she wants to date him or not. It's better to find out now, than later down the line..

I feel this is a rhetorical question, since obviously just because you have a medical condition does not automatically label you as a douche. As far as admitting it, well I suppose that's where I was going with it. Douche was too harsh. I don't even use the word douche everyday. I guess what I should have said was this, Even though I personally would not date him but....
